Reports on the violent attacks in Benue and Plateau states and power outage in four north-east states dominate the frontpages of Nigerian newspapers.

 

The Punch reports that the battle for the soul of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pitted Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, against Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT). The newspaper says a new $5 billion crude-for-loan deal between the federal government and Aramco, Saudi Arabian oil company, has stalled following the recent decline in crude prices.

 

The Guardian reports that less than 30 percent of public schools nationwide have computer laboratories, despite the goal of implementing computer-based national examinations by 2027. The newspaper says four states in the north-east geopolitical zone, namely Taraba, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have been thrown into darkness following a major power outage that started on Tuesday.
